    Wonderful stat.......

    can we have that stat since Goodwin coached please.

    The median is Richmond at 31... we are nearly double

    Plot all those on a bell curve and we are off the scale............... depressing

    We have been a crap side for so long. It would be great if we consistently played finals and gave supporters some sustained success.

    Good question

    Under Goodwin's Tenure

    2016 - 5

    2017 - 4

    2018-5

    2019-7

    2020-2* so far

    *23 over 4 and a bit seasons.

    So that is essentially every 5th game  we will have a scoreless quarter

    The previous 4 seasons 2012 yielded the other 34, essentially every 2.5 games.

    Hmmm... 5 in '18 and 7 in '19: it looks like it's the OTHER quarters that make the diff!

    However, 100% improvement, to better than "median Richmond", under Goodwin. Hmmm...

    Are we including 2016? Come to think of it, it actually reads worse since the start of 2017.

    Fair point, Zeph - 2 already has us well on track for a number-sequenced 10 this year!?

    Oh my God, that is a disgrace. 
    Journalist’s need to put this to Goodwin

    so sick of the “nice” questions at any presser

    4th year after a magnificent training regime....

    2018 had 14 wins and we were the highest scoring team in the league, with a percentage of 131.4.

    These stats in isolation don 't paint a particularly clear picture.

    Is it?

    21 in the four years under him but 37 in the previous four years.

    Mind you neither period was flash and there is little question that Goodwin has a superior list to the 2012 to 2015 period.

    Call it what you will there is no evidence to suggest that this game plan overall is more successful than others. 2018 is held up as the golden example but there were a lot of blowout wins that year. The games won factor was not spectacular (although better than our usual) and of course we failed mainly against the better teams.

    5, 4, 5, 7... can't see an aberration there... maybe the 7, but that would make 2019 the odd one out.

    I personally think this stat is meaningless in isolation... after doing it manually I cannot be bothered to check any other clubs.

    However what it does note, is that both through periods of quarters and through entire games 30/60 minutes at a time - either the FD or players do not know or cannot at will stem the tide. 

    I don't know if its statistically significant more than the majority of other non top4/premiership winning clubs, ie: is Melbourne different from the rest of the comp?

    So you and I agree whetherr we had 14 wins or five wins doesnt change the storey

    what about most quarters won in a row ?

    It is, the Roos years team was 20 times worse than the one under Goodwin as you state. I would expect it to be less than that and getting better, not worse, 2 games this year, 2 goalless efforts, one vs Carlton ffs.

    That rings a bell @markc, was that relevant to our barnstorming run in 2018?

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
